The 2 of Clubs coordinate

Eugene Ormandy was born November 18, 1899 (1899-11-18). Month 11 and day 18 give solar value 15, which is the 2 of Clubs (The Collaborative Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1899 is unused, so Eugene Ormandy's 1899 birth year does not move the card. The 2 of Clubs does not predict a Kennedy Center Honor and is not a verdict on Eugene Ormandy. Quoted system copy for the 2 of Clubs, not a biography of Eugene Ormandy: You think best with someone else in the room, and you still leave with a position of your own. You think best with others.

From 1909 a student of Jenő Hubay, he passed the finals in chamber music and in violin in spring of 1915. From 1917 Blau undertook first tours in Hungary and Germany; among other things as concertmaster of the Berlin Blüthner Orchestra.
